This is Not a Novel | 
pick"Writer is weary unto death of making up stories"
In the first 5 pages Markson tells the reader what he's going to do. It's a remarkably difficult goal, A novel with no characters, no plot, no story, no passage of time.
And then Markson (Writer) pulls it off. I would have read this in one sitting if I could, the pages keep turning, the book keeps building, and the ending is what it has to be (the entire book is set up by the ending).
